Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT

Usage of Collaborate tool in REVIT

 

1) AIM: Open an architectural template. Using the Manage tab set project base point and project shared coordinates for the project

 

Introduction: set project base point and shared coordinate for the collaborate project 

 

Procedure: 

step 1) open architectural templet 

           open revit software 

           then open new project 

           and select architectural templet and press ok 

           

          

 

step 2) open architectural tab

           and click on grid for draw

         

         then draw a one horizontal and verticle grid 

         

 

step 3) specify coordinates point   

           go to manage tab 

           click on coordinates in project location  

           and select specify coordinate option from that 

           

 

step 4) specify coordinates point   

           then click the junction of two grids  

           and set 0.0 on east/west box

           and click ok   

         

 

 

step 5) set project base point    

          type VG for visibility/graphic setting  

 

         

       then scroll down and expand site 

       then click on project base point option 

     

  

     then the base point is apperance on screen 

     now move it on junction point 

    and insert 0,0 for all east ns etc for all

    

Result: we set  set project base point and project shared coordinates for the architectural project

 

         

 

 

 

2) AIM: Open another new file but with a structural template. Using the manage tab set project parameters the same as the architectural model. Copy the parameters from the architectural                 model to the structural template or enter the parameters manually into the structural mode.
